Summary

Cummins said last Tuesday that Kohli wouldn’t make a single triple-figure score during the tour, despite smashing four centuries and averaging 86.50 on his last visit.

And I just basically said: ‘I’d love to see Virat Kohli not make a hundred because he’s a really good player’.”

The comments he made last week prompted a response from former quick Brett Lee, who disagreed with Cummins and backed Kohli to enjoy a blockbuster summer in Australia.

He said he expected the superstar batsman to continue where he left off from India’s 2014-15 tour of Australia, where he scored four centuries across four Tests (692 runs at 86.50), taking his average in the country to 62.00.

“Kohli has a lot to prove and he will prove this year why he’s so good,” Lee told foxsports.com.au following his unveiling as a Fox Sports Cricket commentator.
